These posters were wheatpasted over 3 years ago in Providence Rhode Island and they are still weathering well. The key is a combo of 3 parts wheatpaste with 1 part PVA glue (bookbinders glue).

I like the one that someone scratched the heads off, then you pasted some other awesome cat heads that you had printed back on over them. (someone I know took pictures and posted them here, but only after that too had been defaced…)

PVA/white glue = the key for getting stuff to last!!!! but expensive.
